Geluk, wijsheid en infrastructuur: Over een onverwachte historische bron en een behulpzame collega

Once in a while, you run into a source that makes your heart beat faster. A source that you didn't know existed, but of which you nevertheless hoped to come across one day. Such a source is basically found through a combination of luck, wisdom and infrastructure. Wisdom because you need to have a sense of what is special plus an idea of what a possible location might be. Luck because the chance of actually finding it - the chance that you are the one who finds it - is usually many times smaller than the chance that the source doesn't let itself be found. And infrastructure because, in the end, you don't do this work all by yourself.
